Glastonbury coach ticket resale chaos leaves fans fuming over ‘green bar torture’

The Glastonbury Festival's 2025 coach ticket resale was over in 32 minutes, leaving many fans frustrated with the new online waiting room system.
The Glastonbury Festival's 2025 coach ticket resale was over in 32 minutes, leaving many fans frustrated with the new online waiting room system.

Last night's Glastonbury Festival coach ticket resale lasted less time than a Pyramid Stage soundcheck – and fans aren't happy.

The final batch of coach-inclusive tickets for the 2025 festival at Worthy Farm went on sale at 6pm on Thursday (April 24), with thousands of hopefuls poised, logged in and ready. But within just 17 minutes, Wednesday travel tickets were gone. All tickets were snapped up by the 32-minute mark, leaving many empty-handed and more than a little furious.

Unlike previous sales, there was no frantic refreshing or last-minute clicks. Instead, fans were forced to sit in an online holding pen, watching a green loading bar creep across the screen… or not.

The waiting room system – designed to make the process 'fairer' – left many feeling completely powerless.

SeeTickets confirmed the sellout shortly after 6.30pm, posting: "Coach tickets for @Glastonbury 2025 are now SOLD OUT. The general admission ticket resale will take place Sunday at 9am (BST). Confirmation emails are going out now to everyone who got @Glastonbury coach tickets this evening."

The general sale – tickets without coach travel – launches this Sunday at 9am. It's the last official chance to secure a golden ticket to Worthy Farm this June.

Until then, fans are left nursing their wounds… and staring at green bars.
